Moving to Spain

I am moving to Spain permanently in a few weeks time. Having just had my Pacemaker fitted 10 weeks ago, I am aware the scar tissue is still fresh, but has anybody any suggestions about the sun and pacemakers, as naturally I can not sit inside all day.

Scar tissue seems to be very prone to UV damage , particularly while it is at the pink stage. It seems to me that melanin production never returns to normal in some scars , and it can take months for some scar tissue to tolerate strong UV .

BUT : stay indoors in Spain; I think not; you may as well stay in the UK !

Why not just cover up that area ( it is quite small ! ) or use a high factor sunscreen on it until it can tolerate the lovely Spanish sunshine ?

I hope you enjoy your change of life

Keep it out of the sun as much as you can for one year. Wear high quality sunscreen when you are outside.
